Question

A tree is 15 feet tall. A building is 75% taller than the tree. How tall is the building?

a) 27 feet
b) 18.75 feet
c) 16.125 feet
d) 26.25 feet

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The building is 75% taller than the tree (15ft). So you would turn the percent into a decimal, 0.75, and multiply it by 15 to get 11.25. therefore add 11.25 to 15 and get 26.25. Sorry if the explanation isn't up to par
